Karen Khachanov reached the Wimbledon quarter-finals for the first time on Monday with a five-set win over Sebastian Korda who was celebrating his 21st birthday in a tie which set a record for most breaks of serve in a set. A marathon 81-minute final set on Court 18 featured 13 breaks of serve before Khachanov steadied himself to take the victory. When basically you break a couple of times before the fifth set, and then you have, yeah, 13 breaks, it's tough to explain. The world number 50 came within two points of victory at one stage in the final set. We just couldn't hold serve," said Korda of the error-hit final set.
